7. Affirm Our Faith - Apostles Creed
AI believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and
earth.
I believe in Jesus Christ, Gods only Son, our Lord, who was
conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered
under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried; he
descended to the dead.
On the third day he rose again; he ascended into heaven, he is
seated at the right hand of the Father, and he will come to judge
the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic Church, the
communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of
the body, and the life everlasting. Amen
8. Invitation:
PChrist our Lord invites to his table all who love him, who
earnestly repent of their sin and seek to live in peace with one
another. Therefore, let us confess our sin before God and one
another.
9. Confession of Sins:
PMost merciful God, we confess that we have sinned against You in
thought, word, and deed, by what we have done, and by what we have
left undone. We have not loved You with our whole heart; we have
not loved our neighbors as ourselves. We are truly sorry and we
humbly repent, for the sake of your Son Jesus Christ, have mercy on
us and forgive us; that we may delight in your will, and walk in
your ways, to the glory of your Name.
